Hisbah intercepts hidden alcohol shipment in Katsina
The Hisbah Board in Dutsinma Local Government Area of Katsina State has intercepted a consignment of alcoholic beverages allegedly concealed inside sacks and bags while being transported into the area.
The seizure was disclosed in a statement issued on June 26, 2026, by the Information Officer of the Dutsinma Hisbah office, B. Yareema.
The statement said the operation followed intelligence reports received by the board regarding an attempt to smuggle alcohol into Dutsinma.
It explained that Hisbah personnel had intensified surveillance along routes commonly used for transporting alcoholic beverages, prompting suspected smugglers to adopt new tactics by concealing the drinks inside sacks and “Ghana Must Go” bags in an apparent attempt to evade detection.
The statement added that officers from the Kadangaru district office led the operation that resulted in the seizure. The confiscated items have since been taken to the Hisbah office for further action in accordance with the law.
The board also appealed to residents to continue providing credible information to support efforts aimed at promoting public morality, maintaining peace, and enhancing security across Dutsinma Local Government Area.
